(Bryn Mawr, PA) – Yesterday, Bryn Mawr
Hospital (BMH) announced its Capital Campaign, supporting the
largest investment and most significant facility improvement in the
Hospital’s 122 year history. The $30 million ForEvery Generation capital campaign will support this $200 million
milestone modernization project.

“Bryn Mawr Hospital is the latest example within the Main Line Health
system where we need to invest in the facilities to support the quality
of the capabilities of the people inside,” said Main
Line Health President and CEO Jack Lynch. “We take care of every
generation today, from the youngest and smallest of patients to the most
seasoned, and Bryn Mawr Hospital will be taking care of this community
for generations going forward.

100 community leaders celebrated the public launch of the largest
fundraising effort in Hospital history, many of whom are early investors
in the campaign. To this point, $20 million has been raised, including
gifts and pledges from the Main Line community and beyond. Of that
total, more than $8.6 million has been raised by Board leadership alone,
including 100 percent of the active Bryn Mawr Hospital Foundation Board,
members of the Main Line Health Board of Governors, as well as honorary
and ex officio Foundation Trustees.

The modernization project will include a five-story, 203,000 square foot
patient pavilion, comprised of 12 operating rooms in a state-of-the-art
surgical suite, and 72 replacement patient rooms (54 medical/surgical
beds and 18 intensive care beds). This building will be erected in the
center of the campus. Additionally, renovations include a complete
redesign of the Warden Lobby (the main Hospital entrance) and outpatient
services department, as well as refurbished maternity facilities.

“We are modernizing Bryn Mawr Hospital and ensuring that it is prepared
to care for generations of families to come,” said Bryn
Mawr Hospital President Andi Gilbert. “In 2018 we will have the
facilities to match the excellent care for which we are so well known.”

“We thank our campaign leaders and early benefactors,” she continued.
“Community support is so deeply rooted in the history of Bryn Mawr
Hospital. It is our honor to continue to earn your trust.”

Groundbreaking for the new patient pavilion and hospital renovations
will begin the summer of 2016 and the project is slated for completion
by the end of 2018. During the entire construction process, Bryn Mawr
Hospital will ensure continued excellence in patient care with limited
inconvenience to patients, employees and the community.
